Has anyone read the 3 part article on Caleb Williams

[UpNext]

Before I read the article I thought Williams was a zesty 22 year old diva and the old Bears coaching staff was some hoes.


While reading the article I see a coaching staff getting hoed by a zesty 22 year old diva.


After reading the article I still think Williams is a zesty 22 year old diva and the Bears old coaching staff was some hoes. Definitely a hit piece. Who didn't think Williams was this? If anything, I see that he got more nuts than I originally thought (pause) the way he was able to punk these mfs.

Some of those sacks were his fault. He also got sacked a lot in college.

Some of those sacks weren't his fault and since we are talking about his work in the pros let's look at that Bears line that he was behind last year. That was the same shytty line that Justin Fields played behind and it wasn't any better when Williams played behind it. No matter how you guys slice it and dice it; 20 touchdowns and over 3,500 passing yards against only 6 interceptions was a pretty good season for a rookie quarterback.

Exactly. The old staff was fired for a reason and they said the same shyt about Justin Fields. Meanwhile those old coaches suck in their new jobs too.

It is still early in the season, but is still crazy seeing that Williams is on pace for a 40 touchdown season.

House of Dysfunction, Part II

House of Dysfunction Part II: Inside the Chicago Bears' "rigged trial" at No. 1 overall

The worst football moments of Drake Maye’s collegiate football life were plastered on the screen for all to breathe in. This was no accident. Multiple people inside this 2024 draft meeting say they knew exactly what Ryan Poles was up to. “He’s not sneaky,” recalls one scout, “and he thinks he is....

Blunders in Chicago have multiplied. Claiming former first-rounder Alex Leatherwood off waivers despite the warnings of several on staff that he’d be a cancer. Paying up for guard Nate Davis. Dealing a second-round pick for Chase Claypool. Drafting Velus Jones, a 25-year-old wide receiver. Paying Tremaine Edmunds $18 million per year instead of Roquan Smith $20 million. Letting David Montgomery, the epitome of culture, walk. Choosing Zacch Pickens on the defensive line 13 picks before Byron Young. Drafting Yale offensive lineman Kiran Amegadjie 75th overall. On and on.

Thanks for the part 2 this is wild, but despite mixed reviews on the Caleb experience

We can all agree poles ain’t a great gm

Do it against a non Cowboys defense.

• Whispers of “entitlement” and “arrogance” surrounded C.J. Stroud. Two minutes into conversation? “You’re obsessed with him. There’s a confidence to him. A swagger. But there’s an honesty.” When the Buckeye QB discussed his faith — what he believes to his core — it wasn’t forced or rehearsed. The GM could see how Stroud’s honesty might’ve rubbed other NFL types the wrong way. “But,” he adds, “that’s a dude you want to go battle with.”

• Alabama’s Bryce Young first appeared programmed, as if he had planned for this interview his entire life. Young was so unbelievably locked in that the GM wondered if he was getting an agent-powered robot or the true artifact. “But that’s who he is. He can be a representative of this organization.”

• Onto the 2024 class, he heard “weird” tales around the meditating J.J. McCarthy, but when they sat down? “Whoa, the presence is real. You can feel that alpha. You can feel he’s a real football dude. This guy can lead.” Both Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. transferred, became faces of their respective programs, and rallied everyone around them in a special manner. Nix was a diligent worker to the bone. Everyone who knew Penix raved about his charisma. That, too, was evident.

• Drake Maye was more laidback. He didn’t exude alpha, yet was obviously “an awesome young man.” The GM saw shades of Justin Herbert.

• And, oh, Jayden Daniels? The GM tried to catch him off-guard by telling the quarterback he had a late-round grade on him at Arizona State. Then, he explodes at LSU? What happened? Daniels looked him dead in the eye and said he’s been dominating since high school. “That’s who he is,” the GM says. “I felt it.”

Stats on paper and context of stats matter

Yes it does and maybe we should review the context of the offensive line stats. They were one of the worst if not the worst lines in the league under both Fields and Williams. So when you see a rookie quarterback throw for over 3,500 yards and 20 touchdowns against only 6 interceptions behind a horrid line then his stats are even more impressive and you have to wonder what would he do behind just an average line.

Some quarterbacks get more shyt than others. I wonder why?

Once he’s finished cursing Caleb Williams for the 17th or 18th time, this coach who’s been around some of the best quarterbacks of this generation laughs, and laughs, and laughs a little more. He knows it’s no accident that Williams pinpointed “Shane Waldron” — and not “Thomas Brown” — as the coach who did him dirty in multiple reports that’ve trickled to the public.



“He knows Thomas will beat his ass,” the coach says. “He knows better than to name Thomas’ name.”



Eberflus is described by former assistants as a very pleasant man. Albeit, a little dorky. Waldron is similarly docile. Brown, on the contrary, is old school. Brown promised to bring a completely different coaching style to Williams those final five weeks. Odds are, Williams never experienced anything quite like this his entire football life. In a team meeting, Brown minced zero words. Without calling out players by name, he asked everyone why they were so afraid to hold Williams accountable when the Bears do it with everyone else on the roster. If the right tackle botches a combination block, the tight end speaks up because it directly affects the success of the play. If players think the quarterback is doing something wrong, he implored, tell him.

It shows he is a fukking idiot and why he still has yet to draft one player who has made a pro bowl.

But Poles idiocy is apparent and you don't need examples like that to showcase it, as such it just comes off as throwing shyt at the wall hoping it sticks.

The situation is probably this and somewhere in the middle. Caleb has some form of ASD that overlaps with his dyslexia. But it's very hard to pick up on the ASD Level 1 unless you know key traits and signs so it goes unnoticed. One of the things with neurodivergents is the need for stimulation. Whatever they were coaching him last year wasn't stimulating to him. Now it's not his fault he cannot help it but the fallout from this is that person can be seen as aloof arrogant and look not bothered. And this year whatever Ben Johnson and staff are coaching it stimulating and engages him.

I didn't realize we had Caleb's doctor on here too

Some quarterbacks get more shyt than others. I wonder why?

That’s relative because you can find praise and admonishing for any qb, they talk so much shyt about Justin Herbert, a Roger’s, hell Matt Ryan and he was a mvp
